same here! in fact, i'm the only foreigner in our company...hirap tuloy maki-relate ...especially, when people start speaking in shanghainese.

how is life living in shanghai? do you guys enjoy it?

by **cmra** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 10:36 am

living in shanghai is ok...the most difficult thing is the language barrier. i was based in sydney, au for a while, and somehow, it was easier for me there coz everyone speaks english there.
shopping is ok here....but sizes are SMALL!!! shoes for girls, i think the largest they have is an 8...if you're an 8.5 or 9, bring your own shoes.
for clothes, the largest is a size 10....so if you're a size 12 onwards, bring heaps of clothes. as for personal care items, there are lots here...but all the labels are written in chinese.

i can speak a little mandarin already but will go there to polish it a bit. be learning more in jiaotong uni. i went there last oct and liked it. that's when i decided.

by **b_rich82** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 1:32 pm

anymore filipinos out there? looks like there are only a few on this site..

by **cmra** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 3:08 pm

Anyone spending Christmas here?

by **pam** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 3:33 pm

im spending christmas here. i graduated from up last october lang and have recently moved here.

by **warren** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 4:16 pm

i m also spending christmas here. I have been here since feb.

Language barrier aside, I don't think living here is going to be much of a shock to most Pinoys (particularly if you come from Manila). I have American colleagues who were shocked by the driving, the traffic, the pollution, the crowd, etc. Well, if you come from Manila, all these stuffs just make you feel like home :-)

Shanghai is a very exciting and dynamic place. It's far from perfect, but if you look at the bright side you'll enjoy your stay here.

sayang if i had known there are several of us here in shanghai, i should have plugged this party last saturday in pegasus. this dj spinned and his filipino who grew up in san francisco. since i don't know that many filipino in shanghai, i wasn't able to inform people. we should arrange some filipino get together and cook filipino food next time. i've been craving that for a while now.

i had high expectations of shanghai before coming here...i thought it would be like hk but i guess i was wrong..but it's getting there, i hope...to those of you coming here, if you're particular about cleanliness, don't know if you can survive shanghai (or china for that matter)...i'm sure i won't for long.
